My soft spot for withering flowers. I find them so much more interesting than blossoming flowers. It’s like a magical time capsule that seals off all the beauty of that season inside. So quietly captivating.
我覺得凋零的花比盛開的花更有趣。像是一個神奇的時光膠囊，把那一季的美好全都封存在裡面，安靜地令人著迷。

1st roll shot on uncle Masa’s Seagull 4A TLR from the late 1960’s. This precious camera is a kind gift from a respectful photographer who I am related to and only finally met for the first time last year in Taiwan. I love hearing him shares about his creative process and stories about grandpa 奇福. These images turn out well and I can't wait to shoot more rolls with Seagull.
我很享受摸索老相機的過程 小心翼翼的清洗檢查每個結構 然後試著了解怎麼使用 我是一個不喜歡看說明書的人 因為我更喜歡摸索的過程 反正只要不弄壞就好 這種機械相機的手感跟使用上的聲音真的是非常令我著迷 期待更多拍攝 謝謝敏舅舅

I am still trying to figure out the temperament of this camera. I am struggling with the shutter count and the winder. The most images I managed to get out of a roll is 9 and the space between each frame on the negative hasn’t been consistent. This is quite a learning curve but I absolutely enjoy this process of trial and error.
我還在摸索這台相機的脾氣。我在快門次數和過片器的操作上遇到了一些困難。最成功的一卷底片也只拍出9張照片，而且每張影像在底片上的間距也不一致。這確實是一段學習曲線，但我非常享受這種不斷試錯的過程。

For this trip I switched my primary camera from a digital camera (X100VI) to a film camera (Nikon S3/2k). I felt uneasy to make the change prior to the trip because I didn’t want to miss capturing anything interesting. That’s why I still bring the X100VI with me to shoot some moments that I want to share right away. So far I enjoy shooting analog while travelling. I have been compelled by the process to slow down and enjoy the trip itself more than from my previous experience where I focused too much on shooting and didn’t get to immerse in the travelling as much. I want to share everything I shot today BUT I will have to wait for another week or 2 after I come home to be able to see it!
這次旅行，我把主要的相機從數位相機（X100VI）換成了底片相機（Nikon S3 2000年復刻版）。出發前其實有點不安，擔心會錯過什麼有趣的畫面。所以我還是帶了 X100VI，一些想要即時分享的瞬間就用它來拍。目前為止，我非常享受旅行中使用底片拍攝的過程。拍底片讓我自然地放慢腳步，比起以前總是忙著拍照，這次我更能專注於旅行本身、好好體驗每個當下。我真的很想立刻分享今天拍的所有照片——但我得再等個一兩週，回家之後沖掃出來才看得到！
